This is ridiculous. I'm trying to find out what drugs this includes, but if players can abuse drugs like cocaine, Ritalin, and Adderall, that can totally change things. Those would enhance a players performance while under their effects. How rare is it that a job would drug test and you don't get fired until you fail like 7 drug tests?
"If at least 50 percent plus one of the dues-paying members of the NFL Players Association vote in favor of the proposed CBA, no player will be suspended during the next decade for testing positive for marijuana or any other substance of abuse.
The 2020 substance-abuse policy, a link to which has been distributed to all players eligible to vote via email from NFLPA general counsel Tom DePaso, removes all suspensions for positive tests. Instead, players will be subject to fines only for a positive drug test."
